1,260 beats per minute. They burn energy very
quickly because they move so fast. Hummingbirds
feed on flowers and they can eat their body weight
in food each day. They rely on the sugar they get
from their food as energy to fuel their rapid flying. It
was shown by scientists that they use up all the
energy from the food they eat while they are flying.
During the night when they are not feeding they can
slow down the rate at which they burn calories by
reducing their body temperature and heart rate. This
allows them to survive until the next day when
they will go out looking for food again.
